Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse geographic experience, featuring the major bays of the Mid-Atlantic and a scenic descent over the Gulf Coast islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛴️

Delaware Bay

Expansive views of the estuary and shipping lanes right after takeoff.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

The intricate and winding shorelines of Maryland and Virginia.

🌳

Pine Forests

Dense greenery and river systems of the Carolinas and Georgia.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

Florida's massive inland sea visible during the initial descent.

🏝️

Gulf Coast

Spectacular views of Sanibel and Captiva islands on the final approach.

Excellent for afternoon travel to witness the sunset over land. Shortly after departure, you will cross over the Delaware Bay and potentially see the lights of the Baltimore-Washington corridor in the distance. During the descent into RSW, watch for the vastness of Lake Okeechobee and the white sand beaches of Sanibel Island.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Cape May

The southern tip of the Jersey Shore visible shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Outer Banks

Dramatic views of North Carolina's barrier islands and the Atlantic shelf.

🚀

Space Coast

Distant views of Kennedy Space Center launch pads when tracking coastal.

☀️

Morning Glow

Vibrant sunrises over the open Atlantic on early morning departures.

Best for morning flights to see the sunrise. As you head south, watch for the thin strip of the Outer Banks. On clear days, the turquoise waters of the Atlantic shelf are visible as you pass the Carolinas. Look for the massive VAB building at Kennedy Space Center as you enter Florida airspace.
